A grey-silver soft light solid, floats in water, soluble in hot water, burns with bright white light.
add Magnesium has a specific gravity of approx 1.74, which is greater than water (1.0), and is therefore unlikely to float.
But as it is highly reactive, a tendency to 'float' in water may be caused by the oxidation of the metal at its exposed surface, particularly with a thin sample' with the attendant evolution of hydrogen - whose bubbles might momentarily stick to the metal surface, and make it temporarily more buoyant.

What is the physical state of magnesium at 25 degrees?
Magnesium oxide is a solid.
Is magnesium physical change or chemical change?
Magnesium is not a change of any sort. It is a metallic element that can undergo both physical an chemical changes.
Is burning a magnesium ribbon a physical change?
No. Burning magnesium, or burning anything for that matter, is a chemical change. The magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide, and to some degree reacts with nitrogen to form magnesium nitride.
